This access to technology and information would help narrow the educational gap between children with limited resources and those with ample means.</p><p>The idea for OLPC came from discussions between computer scientist and educator Seymour Papert and architect Nicholas Negroponte at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) Media Lab in the early 2000s,<span><sup>1</sup></span> where the two were professors. Papert likened computers locked in the laboratories of higher learning institutions to books chained to the shelves of medieval libraries: Only those with privileged access were able to benefit from the knowledge hidden within. Negroponte compared the sharing of a computer with the sharing of a pencil. What if two people needed to write something—or learn something—at the same time?</p><p>Negroponte's belief was that the main barrier to providing advanced educational technology to the masses was the cost. In 2004, laptops and small desktop computers sold for more than US$1,500 each (approximately $2,500 in 2024 dollars). At the 2005 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Negroponte urged the technology industry to solve the problem by creating a $100 laptop. He even demonstrated an early prototype of what such a laptop could look like.<span><sup>2</sup></span> A low-cost computer could enable millions of the devices to be sent worldwide, bringing knowledge to every corner of the world. Thus, the OLPC program and the non-profit organization of the same name were born.</p><p>Early in the program, it was clear to Negroponte that the key to reducing the laptop's cost was to reduce the display's cost, as it was the costliest component. When Negroponte returned to MIT from Switzerland in 2005, he met Mary Lou Jepsen, the display pioneer and SID Fellow. Their discussions turned to the display innovations required to enable a low-cost laptop that also would be extremely power efficient. Jepsen then signed on as one of the principals of the project and led the core development team.</p><p>SID member Scott Soong, who hails from the family-owned tech giant CHIMEI, learned about the project through the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a research and development organization in Taiwan. Soong had studied global development at the University of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and had a keen interest on the effects of poverty on personal and economic development. When he learned about the project, he grabbed a 7-inch picture frame display, made by CHIMEI's subsidiary Chi Lin, hopped on a plane to Boston, and met with the OLPC team. “Ya gotta let me be a part of this!” said Soong. The team agreed. He then went back to the folks at CHIMEI and convinced them to be a part of the project.</p><p>Initial thoughts were that maybe a black and white e-i","PeriodicalId":52450,"journal":{"name":"Information Display","volume":"41 1","pages":"34-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msid.1552","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143110346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
